Guest AndrewTS Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Johnny Stamboli, "Nunzio," Chuck Palumbo and--are those all of them--are...the WWE's Full Blooded Italians. WHY!?!?! Don't get me wrong, I loved the FBI in ECW. "Stayin' Alive" for their theme, the chin-brushing and goofy mannerisms, good wrestlers like Guido and Smothers, and the Big Don with that modified Italian flag that made Styles scream in terror. The "Where's My Pizza?!" chants. Even that fatass Sal E. provided some entertainment. This isn't' that FBI. I see one original member, NO BIG DON, and we're supposed to take them as a SERIOUS stable when the original was such a goofy-fun comedy stable? WTF?! I guess they're a boring comedy stable, since they can't beat up one fat Samoan when every tag team on Raw are easily able to beat up TWO of them AND Rico. If they want to push these guys, why did they give them no mic time and ake them look like utter bitches at every point?
Guest Youth N Asia Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 The FBI was funnier when Guido was the only actual Italian...the stable just won't work for me this way. I know Vince can use the name and all, but I didn't even pop of it. And I pop for almost any ECW reference
Guest Trivia247 Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 actually the Original Original form of the FBI was funny because ot JT Smith claiming to be Italian when he is Black, thats wheres my pizza chants came out from...and gotta give it to the guy who constantly purposely SLIPPED off the top rope and crack his head repeatedly on the Hard stone floor of the ECW arena. this 3rd Knock off Bastardized Form of the FBI may have some maririts we will have to wait and see.

The FBI version 4.0 JT was cool...always smiling and singing, how can you not love the guy? Off topic: You see Mike Awesome bend JT over backwards on the rail on a 1993 ECW show?

I got one of the 1994 Eastern Championship Wrestling Tapes that had JT Smith getting Absolutely Squashed by Mike Awesome for 5 minutes then JT getting a freak Rollup win off him. Which brought Mike to Powerbomb him a couple of times.
Guest AndrewTS Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 I've only heard about the original FBI, as well as JT "YOU FUCKED UP" Smith. The FBIs that I saw were pretty damn funny. I guess for those who saw them from the start it wasn't as funny to you, but the newer incarnations gave me a chuckle. If they were a total comedy act, it wouldn't matter if they got their asses handed to them all the time. As it is it's just Guido and a few members of the Natural Born Thrillers with an Italian motif that they are trying to make us take seriously.
Guest razazteca Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 I like the Mamalukes better Big Vito & Tony of WCW Chuck Palumbo is the new Billy Gunn
Guest AndrewTS Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 I think they could salvage it if they made it a comedy act. Drop Palumbo and one of the other WCW losers. They could force Rikishi to join the "family." He'll be popping Stacker 2 while shoveling huge platefuls of spaghetti and lasagna into his fat face. They could get into a huddle and say Catholic prayers, then finish with "Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit--Amen. Now let's go kick their asses!!" Bring back the Paisan [sp?] Elbow. Make Al Wilson, who was resurrected by some bad marinara sauce, the new Big Don. Make Jeff Hardy the new JT Smith.
Guest Trivia247 Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Just get that Soprano guy who is also in the Stacker 2 Commercials to be the Big Don in Vignettes that Nunzio and the FBI go to when they need to consult the BOSS heh Stoonad!

I would pop like the bastard that I am if Paulie Walnuts was their Big Don
Guest Banky Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 There guys will be staples in the WWE mid-card (ie. Rikishi) for years to come. The only stable I want brought back in the nWo, simply because of the history behind it. The name has been tarnished and such, but I'll always mark out for it. heck, i own the WWE DVD of the group. I'm such a fanboy.
Guest razazteca Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 They could drop Chuck and replace him with Albert, at least Albert has the "I injury midcard wrestlers for fun" attitude already. Palumbo it boring as the Super Kick does nothing but get over shadowed by local jobbers, like last week's Velocity. I still say sign Big Vito and Tony Mamamamamamluke.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Tony Mamaluke sucks... He was a weird case. He was great in the tag matches against Mikey and Yoshi, and he was good enough in other tag matches. But in ECW singles he was the shits.
Guest AndrewTS Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 They could drop Chuck and replace him with Albert, at least Albert has the "I injury midcard wrestlers for fun" attitude already. If it means he puts a shirt on, I'm all for it. And the new new new new FBI having a large hairy Jewish man with a head the size of a watermelon in it is kosher with me.
Guest razazteca Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Rikishi as the new Sal E Albert as Andrew Dice Clay D-Lo representin' Naples, Italy too bad they fired D-Lo he could of been golden as JT Smith.
Guest AndrewTS Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 D-Lo representin' Naples, Italy too bad they fired D-Lo he could of been golden as JT Smith. Problem: D'Lo's fuck-ups aren't funny. We need some one who does fuck ups that don't hurt anyone. Hey--why not Jericho?
Guest Army Eye Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Just get that Soprano guy who is also in the Stacker 2 Commercials to be the Big Don in Vignettes that Nunzio and the FBI go to when they need to consult the BOSS heh Shit, that would be perfect.
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 I Predict FBI will last about 2 Months. Then 2 out of 3 of them will be fired by KOTR.
Guest Respect The 'Taker Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Well, people need to remember originality doesn't exist in pro wrestling, but Vince could at least be CLEVER. Fuck that, WWE sucks. UYI - Wants WCW back
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 So, I guess that makes me the only fan of this group?
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 FBI...numbah 1 fan! </Funaki>
Guest Grand Slam Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 No, you aren't the only fan. I think they have potential, and besides, I love any stable where the "leader" is the smallest guy in the group. I'll give them a fair chance, which is more than I can say for most of the posters on this thread. Man. Just because it is WWE doesn't mean it sucks. And UYI wants WCW back? What are you smoking and where can I get some?
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 I like all 3 guys, so I hope they get a chance to do something in the mid-card. Getting them away from Rikishi would be a start, as it seems to only be a matter of time before we get a Triple Stink-Face.
Guest notJames Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Or worse, they seem to be foreshadowing an alliance between Rikishi and Los Guerreros. (sigh)
Guest Youth N Asia Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Yeah, cause Rikishi hardly ever jobs on tv, let alone a clean job...just like Torrie
